Molecular dynamics simulation of wax molecules aggregational crystallization behavior during cooling of crude oil mixture
The crystallization behavior of wax molecules is the root cause of wax deposition. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the aggregational crystallization behavior of wax molecules in a crude oil system. The results show that wax molecules produce ordered wax crystal...
